A duo album released in 1979 by Coste Apetrea, the original guitarist of the Swedish psychedelic rock band Samla, and Swedish guitarist/producer Stefan Nilsson, on the high-quality Swedish label Love Records. The album features guest participation from the skilled Finnish guitarist Jukka Tolonen. Incorporating melodies from Nordic folk music, the album unfolds a melancholic and emotive soundscape of ethnic crossover music throughout. Nilsson plays keyboards such as electric piano and Mini Moog synthesizer on this work, and his performance is exceptionally superb. The entire album is highly recommended, but the standout track is A1, a transcendental new age piece reminiscent of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno's "Evening Star," adorned with delicate acoustic guitar tones, soaring electric guitar, and a super-spacey Mini Moog solo.
